NEW JERSEY NETS / MILWAUKEE BUCKS
Take "Over"
Defense and rebounding have slipped of late for the Milwaukee Bucks, which is not surprising with all the injuries they've had to put up with. How well they are able to shore up those parts of their game will go a long way toward determining whether their playoff run will be successful. For this game, they take on an uptempo New Jersey offense run be Devin Harris that has gone 7 straight games over the total. Harris had 26 points, 14 assists in the last game, a 99-96 loss to New Orleans. Milwaukee is on a 7-3 run over the total. Look for plenty of offense, play the Nets/Bucks over the total.

TORONTO vs. HOUSTON
The Houston Rockets will look to continue their dominance at home and extend a nine-game home winning streak and avoid being swept in their season series with the lowly Raptors tonight. Houston (38-22) has been outstanding at the Toyota Center this season and will look to avenge a 94-73 loss at Toronto (23-38) on Jan. 2nd. The Rockets have outscored opponents by an average of 14.5 points during the nine-game winning streak at home, where they are 24-6 on the season. Houston has jumped out to quick leads in its last three games at the Toyota Center, holding an average advantage of 8.3 points after the first period, meanwhile, the Raptors have lost their three road games since the All-Star break, allowing an average of 32.3 points in the first 12 minutes. This will be Toronto's last road game against a Western Conference team this season, and they have gone 3-11 which is the East's worst overall record against teams in the West. Tonight, Toronto faces a Houston team that has won seven of its last eight, the only loss coming from a road game in which they blew a 17-point lead in the final six minutes of a 105-102 loss to Chicago Saturday night. Ron Artest had a team-high 23 points following a 32-point effort versus the Bulls. After Tracy McGrady ended his season nearly two weeks ago having sugery on his knee, Artest is averaging 21.4 points and shooting 51.0 percent from 3-point range in his last eight games. Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani each had 19 points for the Raptors in the first matchup against Houston and they combined for 46 points in Toronto's 109-98 loss to Dallas on Sunday night. The Raptors were outrebounded 57-45 against dallas and will have a tough time tonight against center Yao Ming, Shane battier and Ron Artest hitting the boards tonight. Houston is the second hottest team in the NBA after the Utah Jazz and they have been unstoppable at home. They should have no problem against this Toronto team that hasn't won a game on the road since the All-star Break.TAKE HOUSTON-7 1/2

1 Unit on K-State +6
The Cowboys are rolling, having won 5 in a row, but a highly emotional win over Texas last game puts the Cowboys in a letdown spot tonight. K-State won by 21 at home last month in this matchup so I definitely see the Wildcats being in this one all the way, especially since they've been one of the best road teams in the Big 12 down the stretch, going 4-1 with their only loss coming at Mizzou. Oklahoma State is just 8-18 ATS off a home win over the last 3 seasons. This is a big game for both teams so we'll take the points in one that should go right down to the wire.

New Jersey vs. Milwaukee
Play: New Jersey +4
New Jersey is 10-2 ATS their last 12 games as road dogs of 4.5 or less points and they are 5-1 ATS off an ATS win. The Nets are 4-1 ATS their last 5 games vs. losing teams and they are 12-3 ATS after losing 5 or 6 of their last 7 games. Milwaukee is 16-31 ATS their last 47 games vs. Atlantic Division teams and they are 3-9-1 ATS off a straight up win. The Bucks are 1-11 ATS their last 12 meetings with the Nets including 1-5 ATS their last 6 home games with the Nets. PLAY ON NEW JERSEY +
Jeff Alexander
1 Unit on Grizzlies Lakers UNDER 207.5
We'll play on the Under with a Home team where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (LA LAKERS) in a game involving two poor defensive teams (98-102 PPG), after a game where both teams scored 105 points or more. This system is 70-38 since 1996. Memphis has gone under in 7 of its last and the Lakers have gone under in 4 of their last 5. Bet the Under here.
Craig Trapp
Cincinnati vs. South Florida
Play: Cincinnati -3
Big game for the bubble team Cincinnati Bearcats. South Florida only has 8 wins on the year and are under 500 at home. Only big win this year came at home against Marquette. SF is shorthanded tonight and will have to play really well to win. Cincinnati is -3.5 road favorite in this match up. Check out recent trends for this game:
Road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Bearcats are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
Bulls are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
Bulls are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog.
Bearcats are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite.
Craig is going to take the team with all the motivation and a must win for the Cats and if they blow out USF will even help them more. SCORE CIN 74 - USF 60
Dave Price
1 Unit on Iowa +1.5
The Hawkeyes are 12-3 at home this season and have really been playing solid basketball down the stretch. Ohio State is just 3-6 in true road games and will have a tough time in Iowa City tonight. Iowa is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games, beating Michigan and taking Purdue, Michigan State, and Northwestern down to the wire. Iowa is a perfect 6-0 ATS in home games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) this season. Iowa lost at Ohio State by just 3 points earlier this season and that swings things in our favor here as well as the Hawks are 6-0 ATS in home games revenging a same season loss vs. an opponent over the last 3 seasons. The Buckeyes were absolutely crushed at Purdue and history tells us they won't be back up for this one as they are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a SU loss of more than 20 points. Take Iowa.
Dwayne Bryant
Florida State at Duke
Bet:Florida State +12
This is a tough spot for the Blue Devils. Duke is coming off four straight wins and three straight covers. Duke got revenge at home over Wake three games ago. Then they traveled to Maryland and closed well to hold off the very determined and revenge-minded Terps. In their last game, Duke held off the revenge-minded Hokies in Blacksburg.
What does Duke have on deck? Only a GINORMOUS revenge game with North Carolina. Remember, UNC embarrassed the Blue Devils on their home floor in front of a national TV audience, 101-87, on 2/11/09.
Considering that Duke beat these Seminoles in Tallahassee already this season, I have to think Duke will be looking ahead to that Sunday revenge match with the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill.
From a series perspective, FSU is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings, including a PERFECT 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings at Duke. FSU's last two trips to Cameron resulted in a 68-67 upset win as 8.5-point dogs and a 97-96 OT loss as 15-point dogs.
Considering FSU's success at Cameron and Duke's look-ahead situation, I feel confident taking the dozen with Florida State tonight.
Frank Jordan
Rutgers vs. Syracuse
Play: Syracuse -15.5
Rutgers has played 15 Big East games has just one win and are 10-19 over all. Syracuse is 21-8 and has cracked the top 25 ranking. Look for Syracuse, who has won 15 of 18 games at home, to crush Rutgers just like they did in their first meeting back in January. Play Syracuse
ALEX SMART
Denver Nuggets @ Detroit Pistons
PICK: Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets Chauncey Billups returns to Motown venue, that was previously his home before a shocking early season trade sent him packing to the Rocky Mountains. Billups is one of the all time fan favorites to ever suit up in a Pistons uniform, as is evident on Motor City Hoops blogs and boards. Look for a huge ovation by the Motor City faithful, and for Billups to feed off of this and lead his team to a big time performance.
Here is a quote: "I'm sure it will be emotional," Billups said. "I had a lot of great years there. I'm sure it's always going to be my home away from home. It will be pretty emotional, but it will be a lot of fun."
With the home town Pistons off an emotional back to back road wins, against the Orlando Magic and the defending NBA champion, Boston Celtics last time out, a let down performance tonight could easily be on the agenda.
I know the Nuggets have lost 11 straight trips SU to Auburn Hills, but that was than and this is now. With the Nuggets , getting points , I look for the road team to move to 5-1 ATS in the L/6 overall meetings and for the Pistons to move to 0-6 ATS in their L/6 at home vs a winning opponent.
Projected score: Denver 95 Detroit 93

Alabama / Auburn Over 143.5
Interesting Trends for this contest with Auburn Playing Under the Mark at 9-2 when they travel and Bama on the other end of the spectrum at 9-4 OVER at home. But this game is less about Trends and more about what is happening right now with the Tide and what is happening in this series most recently. These two squads have played OVER the mark the last 4 times they have met, and in doing so, they have averaged 164 points on 116 shots per contest. They have also played those games in a very physical way and we have seen many shots from the free throw line. We saw 49 of those in the first game this year and that helped push that contest to 156 total points. These two squads do not in any way like each other. Have you ever heard of the Auburn/Alabama Rivalry? It happens with Hoops as well. This physical style of play is going to be our friend tonight. What is also going to be our friend is a #75 and #65 Raw Pace Ranking by these two squads as well as a Top 100 Offensive Efficiency for both. In addition to all of this, Alabama is playing their best offensive basketball of the season with 90, 88, and 87 points in their last 3 times on the court. Let's No-Brainer this one and play it up to 147. PLAY OVER.

1* on Austin Peay -10.5
Austin Peay is one of the best teams in the Ohio Valley, but they’ve suffered many bad breaks this season. This is our choice to win this tournament as the Governors cruise to victory tonight to get off to a solid start. Austin Peay is 13-5 SU and 10-7 ATS in Ohio Valley games this year. E. Illinois is just 8-10 SU and 7-10 ATS in conference play. Worse yet, Eastern Illinois is 3-12 SU and 5-8 ATS on the road this season. Eastern Illinois has no momentum heading into this game, going 1-6 SU in their last 7 games and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 lined games overall. Austin Peay, on the other hand, has momentum after finishing the season 2-0 and winning their final two games by double-digits. Austin Peay is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in six meetings with E. Illinois over the last 3 seasons. This is one team the Governors have owned and we don’t see that changing tonight considering it’s do or die for the Governors. E. Illinois is 0-9 ATS (-9.9 Units) in road games off 2 consecutive road losses of 10 or more since 1997. Take Austin Peay and lay the points.

OKLAHOMA STATE -5 Over Kansas State
The Cowboys of the Big Twelve Conference under their Head Coach Travis Ford are 19-9 Straight Up, and 10-11-1 Against The Spread on the season. They look to be in good shape to return to the NCAA Tourney for the first time in four seasons. The Cowboys have been taking no prisoners lately, and should play hard on their Home court this evening. Positive trends include 5-0 SU and ATS recently, 5-0 SU in this match up at Home, 9-3 ATS as Favorites, and 14-9 ATS as Home Favorites in this point range. This should be a great one to watch on National TV tonight.
The Wildcats enter this Conference match up under their second year Head Coach Frank Martin with a record of 20-9 SU, and 9-11-1 ATS on the year. They too are looking to gain a berth in March Madness, and every game is a must win. The Wildcats are 9-2 SU lately, and must be respected. Negative trends include 0-8 ATS in games they lose SU, 2-5 ATS versus good Offensive teams, and 13-18 ATS on the Road.
The line overnited at Cowboys -5. We'll go with the Home Cowboys to cover for us here tonight.

Came up short with Baylor last night in the freebie department. Still, I’m 4-2 with complimentary selections over the last six days, and we’ll look to improve on that Tuesday by backing New Mexico at home against Utah in Mountain West Conference play.
This is a very cheap price to be laying with the Lobos, who are 14-2 as a host this season, including 6-0 against Mountain West foes, proving once again that the Pit is one of the toughest places in the nation for visiting opponents. Just how dominant has New Mexico been in league home games? Consider the margins of victory: 14 (TCU), 26 (San Diego State), 4 (UNLV in overtime), 29 (New Mexico), 18 (Colorado State) and 19 (BYU). Yep, five double-digit blowouts in six games!
Granted, the Lobos are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games … BUT they were an underdog (at BYU) in one of those contests and a big favorite in three others (8½, 14½ and 12½ points). In the other two games, they covered easily versus SDSU and came up just short as a five-point favorite in the four-point overtime win over UNLV.
As for Utah, it came crashing back down to earth Saturday at archrival BYU, losing 63-50 as a six-point road underdog to end an eight-game winning streak (6-2 ATS). During that winning streak, the one team that came closest to upending the Utes was … New Mexico, which went to Salt Lake on Jan. 31 and fell 69-68, covering as a five-point road underdog.
The last three meetings have been decided by a total of four points (one in overtime), and while Utah won two of those games, New Mexico is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 against the Utes overall and 5-2 in the last seven meetings in The Pit. Lastly, the Lobos are 23-11 ATS in their last 34 games as a home chalk and 5-1 in their last six as a favorite of less than seven points, while the Utes have failed to cash in five of their last six as a road pup. Utah has the talent to keep this close for a half, but look for the Lobos and their crowd to take over in the final 20 minutes as the home team posts a comfortable win and cover.
